This was the massive tree in the park - a Radiata pine, 49mts tall and 140 yrs old. Here is a pic
The beautiful old lady is the tree, and the Mural on the electric pole was in a place called Lillydale done by a local artist who put her stamp on all the poles.
On to Tomahawk on the north coast then Cosy corner in the bay of fires on the North west coast- It is an area of idyllic white-sand beaches, placid lagoons and hidden coves.
The name Bay of Fires was given to the area by English navigator Captain Tobias Furneaux in 1773 when he observed numerous fires along the coast. 5th Feb Moving further down the coast to the Frecinet national Park. We are parked 50mts from Coles bay will do a video of it tomorrow to post - Picturesue
We walked to wineglas bay a 4her return walk we called it wineglass to wine glass cos we were zonked when we returned!! We stopped at Freycinet lodge and I'm not sure wether we rehydrated or dehydrated, but it was good to get back on smooth ground.
This is a movie of wineglass bay from the lookout -the first leg of our walk about 30-40min. I think the clip shows it all.
Just backtracking a couple of days - Our Dolly (Citroen) seems to constantly attract attention -we were in St Helens on our way here and Lo and behold another citroen came hooning around the corner ( the only other one weve seen in tassie) the driver waving furiousley, he turned around and chased us until we stopped and three hours later after lots of Dolly talk we find ourselves back at Peter and Beatrix house - where Beatrix shouted out with glee "another Duck" ( They are German and fondly call 2CV's Duck) More Dolly talk!! but nice to meet new people, next day we stop in st Helens and met someone from stroud, God it's a small world.
Running out of time now and will post some more great pics tomorrow.
Signing off for now :0)
